Scant few jobs pay more for women BY GENARO C. ARMAS, Chicago Sun-Times
If a woman wants to make more money than a man, her job options are severely limited. She could clean up hazardous waste. Or install telecommunications lines.
But not much else.
The Census Bureau compiled statistics on hundreds of job categories from its 2000 headcount and found just five where women typically earn at least as much as men.
Among hazardous material removal workers, women earn $1.09 for every dollar earned by man. It's slightly more than a dollar for telecommunications line installer and repairers, and it was exactly dollar-for-dollar in three categories: meeting and convention planners; dining room or cafeteria workers, and construction trade helpers.------------------------------------------- posted 12:51 PM :: reference link ::
